Transcript of: Health care requirement unconstitutional
BRIAN WILLIAMS, anchor: news tonight about a very controversial part of the new Obama health care law that will eventually require just about every American to purchase health insurance . Today a Federal Appeals Court in Atlanta said the requirement's unconstitutional. This means the courts are now split on the issue. That likely means it's headed for the Supreme Court , perhaps next session.
